00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:02.299
Allah the Almighty says:

00:00:02.299 --> 00:00:11.800
“Would ye then, if ye were given the command, work corruption in the land and sever your ties of kinship?” (47:22)

00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:21.699
“Such are they whom Allah curseth so that He deafeneth them and maketh blind their eyes.” (47:23)

00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.199
On the authority of Jubayr Ibn Mut'im, may Allah be pleased with him,

00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:29.199
that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.200
"The one who severs shall not enter Paradise,"

00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:34.200
meaning the one who severs ties of kinship.

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.390
Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:00:37.390 --> 00:00:40.390
"This is a general prohibition against causing corruption on earth,

00:00:40.390 --> 00:00:43.390
and a specific prohibition against severing ties of kinship.

00:00:43.390 --> 00:00:47.390
For Allah the Almighty has commanded us to bring about reform on earth,

00:00:47.390 --> 00:00:49.390
and to maintain ties of kinship,

00:00:49.390 --> 00:00:54.890
which means showing kindness to relatives through one's words, actions, and the giving of wealth."

00:00:54.890 --> 00:00:59.390
Authentic and sound hadiths have been narrated to this effect.
